Stories of our crazy, amazing family

I am not sure where the last 10 years have gone. I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around it all to be honest. My oldest baby is 10. Little Peanut, who had such an incredible opening sequence to his life, is 10. Now, I know some parents have a hard time… Continue reading 10…….1.0…..TEN!!

So, I guess that the wedding craziness has ended. Oh and the summer craziness. Don't forget about the first month of school craziness. It's back to normal in our household, which means I should get back to writing. This summer was a blast!

We went to the arcade again this morning. Sean's parents wanted to play the bingo game with us. Let's be honest,… Continue reading Our Oregon Coast Adventure: Day 6
